If leave includes a weekend, a member cannot end leave on a Friday and begin leave again on Monday. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Specified
• D. Always Allowed

Answer: (A)

When leave is planned to include a weekend, it must be a single, continuous block that spans the weekend. Ending the leave on a Friday and starting again on Monday would leave Saturday and Sunday not on leave, meaning the weekend isn’t actually part of the leave period. Since the scenario specifies that the leave includes a weekend, splitting it across the weekend is not allowed. So the statement is true. If you want the weekend to be counted, you’d schedule one continuous leave that covers the weekend, such as Thursday through Monday or Friday through Sunday.
